Everyone in Beta is Legacy. Everyone talking about the Beta are Legacy. AKA people who thought XIV was already good enough to be paid for.

How I came to this realization is when I saw the admin (Thayos) breaking NDA and talking about how great FFXIV gameplay and UI is. I noticed...HEY. THIS GUY HAS A BUNCH OF LEVEL 50s!!! and these are pretty much the only people allowed to test!

I know I bought the CE $80 version and I didn't get in. my friends who bought the game & quit didn't get in the Beta either. only Legacy members who already thought the game is good.

Once again you are wrong in your numbers. Just because you didn't get selected for beta, go cry a river. Not everyone gets in there. Legacy members have every right to get in if they choose to do so. After all if it wasn't for them you wouldn't be here crying and throwing a fit....

I'm confused, my thread gets nuked because of a possible character attack... this thread is still here and directly attacks an admin accusing them of breaking an NDA that if it were true, would cost the site it's close relations with SE... Hmmmmm

I reported him for attacking another member. I never ask anything of the admins, but can you please ban this guy. Spreading falsehoods and half-truths on the board constantly only hurts people that come here for facts and discussion.

well regardless my thread isn't even about that guy. but he is a good example of the TYPE of people who are (MOSTLY) playing beta right now.

I'm not trying to make him a villain, he's not a villain for enjoying something. I'm just saying most of the people playing beta & sharing their thoughts on it are dedicated FFXIV subscribers.

Who better to test and judge how SE has revamped the game made it better or worse than those that stuck it out through V1 than "Legacy" players? Legacy members that played the game to 50 simply have a wider knowledge base to draw from to offer suggestions on where the game should go.

I reckon you think SE should have started with "Legacy" WoW players that have never played XIV to be the Beta's.

In so far as most Beta things there will be several stages involved likely and who is to say that at some point Beta will not be expanded to non-Legacy?

So Thayos said the Game Play and UI are awesome. Just view what SE has released to the public compared to V1 and I can draw that conclusion even though it's been nigh over a year since I played FFXIV. I'm quite excited by what I'm seeing as of now.

Well actualy no, everyone in Beta is not legacy since they also sent invites to Alpha testers. We can't know if anyone else got an invite since they cannot say they got into beta without breaking the NDA.

I would say that the Offical forums already show that not all the Legacy members thought the game was good, and that some realy don't like the direction the game is going now.

I'll be blunt, Legacy status is nothing more than a consolation prize. It's a goodwill gesture on the part of SE towards their customers who stuck with them through a bad spot. It makes good sense to then give them Beta access so that they can give feedback on how they think the game may have improved or gotten worse in their opinion.
